Dorothy Johnstone (1892–1980) was a Scottish painter and watercolourist. Johnstone was born in Edinburgh in 1892 and grew up in Napier Road, near the Gothic Mansion, Rockville.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rockville )〕 Her father, landscape artist George Whitton Johnstone RSA (1849–1901),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Whitton Johnstone )〕 encouraged her artistic talents, and at the age of 16 she enrolled as a student at the Edinburgh College of Art. She took the Life Class with Ernest Stephen Lumsden where she revealed her talents at informal portraiture, a genre for which she became well known. In 1914 she became a member of staff at the Edinburgh College of Art. From the summer of 1915, she became a regular annual visitor to Kirkcudbright in Galloway, where she would paint with other mainly female artists including Jessie M. King as part of the Kirkcudbright School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kirkcudbright Gallery )〕〔Kirkcudbright - 100 Years of an Artists' Colony by Patrick Bourne, Publisher: Atelier Books 2000 ISBN 978-1873830130〕 Dorothy Johnstone, with her close friends Cecile Walton〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cecile Walton )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cecile Walton paintings )〕 and Mary Newbery,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mary Newbery )〕 was a member of The Edinburgh School, which reformed in 1919, a collective of gifted and progressive artists associated with the Edinburgh College of Art. In 1924, at the peak of her artistic career, Johnstone mounted a joint exhibition in Edinburgh with fellow artist Cecile Walton. She married her colleague and fellow group member David Macbeth Sutherland in 1924. They had a son in 1925 — Sir Iain Sutherland (diplomat) mdash; and a daughter in 1928. As a consequence of her husband's appointment in 1933 as head of Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen (now at Robert Gordon's University) and of the marriage bar in place at the time, she gave up her career and her students. She kept her links with Edinburgh by continuing to exhibit her portraits and landscapes at the Royal Scottish Academy, to which was elected an Associate (ARSA) in 1962. Johnstone painted landscapes and portraits, particularly of children, and her style was free and relaxed, whether using oil, watercolour, pencil or chalk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ART Net Auction results )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorothy Johnstone paintings )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In the Artist's Footsteps )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fletcher Art Gallery )〕 Some of her work is displayed at the National Gallery of Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Modern Scottish Women Painters and Sculptors 1885-1965 )〕 When she died in 1980, she bequeathed her important early painting 'Marguerites' (painted in 1912) to the Royal Scottish Academy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marguerites )〕 == Selected bibliography == *"Dorothy Johnstone ARSA 1892-1980: A memorial exhibition: Aberdeen Art Gallery, Schoolhill, Aberdeen 18 December-15 January 1983," ''The Fine Art Society'', Dundas Street, Edinburgh, 29 January-1 March 1983 ISBN 9780900017100 *"Modern Scottish Women Painters and Sculptors 1885-1965," Editor Alice Strang.
